The girls’ love This Monster Wants to Eat Me manga series is getting an anime adaptation. The cast and staff were also revealed, along with a teaser visual and trailer. Reina Ueda stars as the main character Hinaka Yaotose in the anime, which is slated to premiere in 2025.
Studio STUDIO LINGS is animating the series with Naoyuki Kazuya as chief director and Yusuke Suzuki as director. Mitsutaka Hirota provides the series composition and screenplays, Nozomi Ikuyama designs the characters, Keiji Inai composes the music, and Ryosuke Naya is the sound director.
Sai Naekawa, the creator of the manga series also shared an illustration to commemorate the anime adaptation announcement:
The anime adaptation is based on a manga series written and illustrated by Sai Naekawa. ASCII Media Works Dengeki Maoh magazine has been serializing the series since August 2020. Yen Press published the first volume in English in June 2024.
The synopsis of the series is as follows:
“I’ve come to eat you,” so softly utters the mermaid Shiori as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand. Hinako lives alone in a town by the sea and possesses an unusually delicious body that is irresistible to nearby monsters. To ensure that she matures to the best condition, Shiori seeks to protect Hinako—all so that someday, she can devour every piece of her. A longing thought comes to Hinako’s mind; “Maybe this monster can make my wish come true.”
